Also need to remember that the D50 and most budget DLSRs have a 1.5/6 crop factor so a 50 mm has the actual effect of a 80 ish mm

I'd agree that Kit lenses are cheap etc but IMHO they cost next to nothing as teh body only prices are usualy only £20-30 less so its not worth not having if yuo see what I mean. I look at mine as a basic 'snap' lens rather than anything that I would look to purposly use. Its only redeeeming factor is its 18mm wide end.

For walkabout I picked up a 28-70 Lens from an old EOS 600 film camera. Its a decent lens for general stuff. I do get a nice feeling from using my old lenses so they are on 95% of the time.
